<1. First Embodiment>
[1.1 Battery configuration]
1A, 1B, and 1C show an example of the appearance of a battery according to the first embodiment of the present technology. FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the battery according to the first embodiment of the present technology. The film-clad battery (hereinafter simply referred to as “battery”) according to the first embodiment of the present technology is a so-called lithium ion secondary battery, and is a substantially cylindrical wound electrode body (hereinafter simply referred to as “electrode body”). 1) Seal portions 2P, 2Q provided in three directions except for 1 and a substantially cylindrical housing portion 2W for housing the electrode body 1 and a folded portion 2D on the peripheral surface side of the periphery of the housing portion 2W. A film-shaped exterior member 2 having 2R, and a positive electrode lead 3 and a negative electrode lead 4 connected to the electrode body 1 are provided.
 シール部2P、2Qは収容部2Wの両端面側に設けられ、シール部2Rは収容部2Wの周面側に設けられている。シール部2P、2Qは、収容部2Wの略円形状の端面の中心からずれるととともに、その端面に対してほぼ垂直に立てて設けられている。 The seal portions 2P and 2Q are provided on both end surface sides of the accommodating portion 2W, and the seal portion 2R is provided on the peripheral surface side of the accommodating portion 2W. The seal portions 2P and 2Q are provided so as to deviate from the center of the substantially circular end surface of the accommodating portion 2W and stand substantially perpendicular to the end surface.
 シール部2Rは、図2A、図2Cに示すように、収容部2Wの略円柱状の周面に対して略垂直に立てられていてもよいし、図3A、図3Bに示すように、収容部2Wの略円柱状の周面に倣うように屈曲されていてもよいが、後者のように屈曲されていることが好ましい。電池の周面の形状をより円柱面に近い形状にすることができ、電池全体をより小型化できるからである。 As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2C, the seal portion 2R may be erected substantially perpendicular to the substantially cylindrical peripheral surface of the housing portion 2W, or as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. Although it may be bent so as to follow the substantially cylindrical peripheral surface of the portion 2W, it is preferably bent like the latter. This is because the shape of the peripheral surface of the battery can be made closer to a cylindrical surface, and the entire battery can be further downsized.
(正極、負極リード)
 正極リード3の一端は電極体1の正極に電気的に接続され、正極リード3の他端はシール部2Pを介して外装材2の外側に導出されている。また、負極リード4の一端は電極体1の負極に電気的に接続され、負極リード4の他端はシール部2Qを介して外装材2の外側に導出されている。
(Positive electrode, negative electrode lead)
One end of the positive electrode lead 3 is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the electrode body 1, and the other end of the positive electrode lead 3 is led out of the exterior material 2 through the seal portion 2P. One end of the negative electrode lead 4 is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the electrode body 1, and the other end of the negative electrode lead 4 is led out to the outside of the exterior material 2 through the seal portion 2Q.
 正極リード3と外装材2との間には、熱融着材などのシーラント材5Aが設けられていることが好ましい。また、負極リード4と外装材2との間にも、熱融着材などのシーラント材5Bが設けられていることが好ましい。これにより、外装材2から導出される正極リード3および負極リード4と外装材2の内側面との接着性を向上させることができる。 It is preferable that a sealant material 5 </ b> A such as a heat sealing material is provided between the positive electrode lead 3 and the exterior material 2. Further, it is preferable that a sealant material 5 </ b> B such as a heat sealing material is provided between the negative electrode lead 4 and the exterior material 2. Thereby, the adhesiveness of the positive electrode lead 3 and the negative electrode lead 4 derived | led-out from the exterior material 2 and the inner surface of the exterior material 2 can be improved.
 なお、正極リード3と電極体1との接続位置、および負極リード4と電極体1との接続位置は、特に限定されるものではなく、電極体1の内周部、中周部および外周部のいずれであってもよい。正極リード3および負極リード4がともに電極体1の外周部に接続されている場合には、それらの接続位置は電極体1の周面において対向していることが好ましい。電極体1の周面の形状をより円柱面に近い形状とすることができるからである。 In addition, the connection position between the positive electrode lead 3 and the electrode body 1 and the connection position between the negative electrode lead 4 and the electrode body 1 are not particularly limited, and the inner peripheral portion, the middle peripheral portion, and the outer peripheral portion of the electrode body 1 are not limited. Any of these may be used. When both the positive electrode lead 3 and the negative electrode lead 4 are connected to the outer peripheral portion of the electrode body 1, it is preferable that the connection positions thereof face each other on the peripheral surface of the electrode body 1. This is because the shape of the peripheral surface of the electrode body 1 can be made closer to a cylindrical surface.
 正極リード3および負極リード4は、電極体1の端面に沿うようにL字状に屈曲されていることが好ましい。収容部2Wの容積効率を高めることができるからである。外装材2の外側に導出された正極リード3よび負極リード4は、真っ直ぐに伸びていてもよいし、収容部2Wの端面に向けて折り返されていてもよい。 The positive electrode lead 3 and the negative electrode lead 4 are preferably bent in an L shape along the end face of the electrode body 1. This is because the volumetric efficiency of the accommodating portion 2W can be increased. The positive electrode lead 3 and the negative electrode lead 4 led out to the outside of the exterior material 2 may extend straight or may be folded back toward the end surface of the housing portion 2W.
 正極リード3、負極リード4はそれぞれ、例えば、アルミニウム、銅、ニッケルまたはステンレスなどの金属材料により構成されており、薄板状または編目状などを有している。シーラント材5A、5Bはそれぞれ、正極リード3、負極リード4に対して密着性を有す材料、例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、変性ポリエチレンまたは変性ポリプロピレンなどのポリオレフィン樹脂により構成されている。 Each of the positive electrode lead 3 and the negative electrode lead 4 is made of a metal material such as aluminum, copper, nickel, or stainless steel, and has a thin plate shape or a stitch shape. Each of the sealant materials 5A and 5B is made of a material having adhesion to the positive electrode lead 3 and the negative electrode lead 4, for example, a polyolefin resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, modified polyethylene, or modified polypropylene.

It has peripheral portions 2A, 2B, and 2C provided on three sides of the both end surface sides and the peripheral surface side (side surface side) of the accommodating portions 2X and 2Y. Here, the substantially partial columnar shape means a shape obtained by cutting a substantially columnar shape in the axial direction and dividing it into two. The substantially partial cylindrical shape of the accommodating portion 2X is one shape divided into two as described above, and the substantially partial cylindrical shape of the accommodating portion 2Y is the other shape divided into two as described above.
 外装材2は、隣接する収容部2X、2Y間の折り返し部2Dで折り返され、収容部2X、2Yの周縁部2A、2B、2C同士が重ね合わされるとともに、収容部2X、2Yが組み合わされている。重ね合わされた周縁部2A、2B、2C同士はそれぞれ熱融着などでシールされて、シール部2P、2Q、2Rが形成されている。組み合わされた略部分円柱状の収容部2X、2Yにより略円柱状の収容部2Wが形成されている。 The exterior material 2 is folded at a folded portion 2D between the adjacent accommodating portions 2X and 2Y, and the peripheral portions 2A, 2B and 2C of the accommodating portions 2X and 2Y are overlapped with each other, and the accommodating portions 2X and 2Y are combined. Yes. The overlapped peripheral edge portions 2A, 2B, and 2C are sealed by heat fusion or the like, respectively, so that seal portions 2P, 2Q, and 2R are formed. A substantially cylindrical accommodating portion 2W is formed by the combined substantially cylindrical accommodating portions 2X and 2Y.
 折り返し部2Dは、図1B、図1Cに示すように、収容部2Wの周面に対して突出しないように設けられていることが好ましい。電池の周面の形状をより円柱面に近い形状にすることができるからである。ここで、上記“突出”から単なる外装材2の皺は除くものとする。シール部2Rは上述のように収容部2Wの略円柱状の周面に倣うように屈曲されていることが好ましいが、その場合、シール部2Rは収容部2Xの略部分円柱状の周面に倣うように屈曲されていてもよいし、収容部2Yの略部分円柱状の周面に倣うように屈曲されていてもよいが、より深さが浅い収容部2Yの略部分円柱状の周面に倣うように屈曲されていることが好ましい。 As shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the folded portion 2D is preferably provided so as not to protrude from the peripheral surface of the housing portion 2W. This is because the shape of the peripheral surface of the battery can be made closer to a cylindrical surface. Here, simple wrinkles of the exterior material 2 are excluded from the “protrusion”. As described above, the seal portion 2R is preferably bent so as to follow the substantially cylindrical peripheral surface of the accommodating portion 2W. In this case, the seal portion 2R is formed on the substantially partial cylindrical peripheral surface of the accommodating portion 2X. It may be bent so as to follow, or may be bent so as to follow the substantially partial cylindrical peripheral surface of the accommodating portion 2Y, but the substantially partial cylindrical peripheral surface of the accommodating portion 2Y having a shallower depth.

First, the exterior material 2 is sandwiched between the mounting surface 42 </ b> B of the lower die 42 and the pressing surface 43 </ b> B of the upper die 43. Next, the punch 31 is lowered and pushed into the hole 41 </ b> A, the inner surface (first surface) of the exterior material 2 is pressed by the molding portions 32 and 33, and the outer surface of the exterior material 2 (at the position of the boundary portion 34). The exterior material 2 is deformed while the second surface is supported by the support member 44. When the molding parts 32 and 33 are pushed to a predetermined depth, the punch 31 is raised and extracted from the hole 41A. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6A, the accommodating portions 2 </ b> X and 2 </ b> Y are formed in the exterior material 2.
 上記“外装材の成形工程”において、収容部2X、2Yは、上記の式(1a)~(3a)の関係を満たすパンチ31を用いて、以下の式(1A)~(3A)の関係を満たすように成形される。
 D1>D2 ・・・(1A)

 W1=W2 ・・・(3A)
(但し、式(3A)中、W1、W2はそれぞれ、収容部2X、2Yの幅である。)
In the “exterior material molding step”, the accommodating portions 2X and 2Y use the punches 31 satisfying the relations of the above formulas (1a) to (3a) to satisfy the relations of the following formulas (1A) to (3A). Molded to fill.
D1> D2 (1A)

R1> R2 (2B)
W1> W2 (3B)
 上記“外装材の成形工程”において、パンチ31の境界部34および支持部材44の頂部の幅が狭いことが好ましい。これにより、収容部2X、2Y間の距離を小さくできるので、外装材2の折り返し部2Dが収容部2Wの周面に対して突出しない状態で、外装材2により電極体1を封止することができる。したがって、収容部2Wをより円柱状に近い形状にすることができる。 It is preferable that the width of the boundary portion 34 of the punch 31 and the top portion of the support member 44 is narrow in the “molding step of the exterior material”. Thereby, since the distance between the accommodating portions 2X and 2Y can be reduced, the electrode body 1 is sealed by the exterior material 2 in a state where the folded portion 2D of the exterior material 2 does not protrude from the peripheral surface of the accommodation portion 2W. Can do. Therefore, the accommodating part 2W can be made into a shape closer to a cylindrical shape.
(電極体の封止工程)
 以下のようにして、収容部2Wの周囲のうち周面側にある折り返し部2Dを除く3方をシールして、電極体1を外装材2により封止する。まず、図6Bに示すように、収容部2X、2Yのうち、より深さの深い収容部2Xに、正極リード3および負極リード4が取り付けられた電極体1を収納する。次に、図6Cに示すように、収容部2X、2Y間の折り返し部2Dで外装材2を折り返し、図6Dに示すように、収容部2X、2Yの周囲のうち両端面側および周面側(側面側)の3方を囲む周縁部2A、2B、2C同士を重ね合わせるとともに、収容部2X、2Yを組み合わせることにより、収容部2Wを形成する。この際、正極リード3と外装材2との間にはシーラント材5Aが配置されているとともに、負極リード4と外装材2との間にはシーラント材5Bが配置されていることが好ましい。
(Electrode body sealing process)
As described below, the electrode body 1 is sealed with the exterior material 2 by sealing three sides of the periphery of the accommodating portion 2W except the folded portion 2D on the peripheral surface side. First, as shown in FIG. 6B, the electrode body 1 to which the positive electrode lead 3 and the negative electrode lead 4 are attached is accommodated in the accommodating portion 2X having a deeper depth among the accommodating portions 2X and 2Y. Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, the exterior material 2 is folded at the folded portion 2D between the housing portions 2X and 2Y, and as shown in FIG. 6D, both end surfaces and the circumferential surface side of the periphery of the housing portions 2X and 2Y. The peripheral portions 2A, 2B, and 2C surrounding the three sides (side surface side) are overlapped with each other, and the accommodating portion 2W is formed by combining the accommodating portions 2X and 2Y. At this time, it is preferable that a sealant material 5 </ b> A is disposed between the positive electrode lead 3 and the exterior material 2, and a sealant material 5 </ b> B is disposed between the negative electrode lead 4 and the exterior material 2.
 次に、図7Aに示すように、収容部2Wの両端面側で重ね合わされた周縁部2A、2B同士を熱融着などでシールすることにより、収容部2Wの両端面側にシール部2P、2Qを形成し、収容部2Wの周面側に開口部2Sを形成する(図6D参照)。以下では、このような状態の外装材2に収容された電極体1を電池前駆体という。 Next, as shown in FIG. 7A, the peripheral portions 2A and 2B overlapped on both end surfaces of the accommodating portion 2W are sealed by heat-sealing or the like, so that the sealing portions 2P, 2Q is formed, and the opening 2S is formed on the peripheral surface side of the accommodating portion 2W (see FIG. 6D). Below, the electrode body 1 accommodated in the exterior material 2 in such a state is referred to as a battery precursor.
 次に、図7Bに示しように、金型51、52の凹部51A、52Aにより電池前駆体を保持する。凹部51A、52Aは、収容部2X、収容部2Yと略同様の半径を有する略部分円柱状を有している。次に、金型51、52により保持された電池前駆体を、図示しない真空槽内に搬送し、所定位置に固定する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the battery precursor is held by the recesses 51 </ b> A and 52 </ b> A of the molds 51 and 52. The recesses 51A and 52A have a substantially partial columnar shape having substantially the same radius as the housing portion 2X and the housing portion 2Y. Next, the battery precursor held by the molds 51 and 52 is conveyed into a vacuum chamber (not shown) and fixed at a predetermined position.
 次に、真空槽内を脱気しながら、真空槽内に備えられた加熱手段としてのヒートブロック53、54により開口部2S(すなわち周縁部2C、2C)をその両面側から挟むようにして、開口部2Sを熱融着などでシールしてシール部2Rを形成する。これにより、外装材2内を脱気しながらシール部2Rを形成できる。このシール部2Rの形成の際に、ヒートブロック53、54により開口部2Sをその両面側から挟むことで外装材2に張力を加え、電極体1に外装材2を密着させて、収容部2Wの周面に対して折り返し部2Dが突出しないようにすることが好ましい。電極体1に対する外装材2の密着性を高めて、収容部2Wをより円柱状に近い形状にすることができるからである。 Next, while degassing the inside of the vacuum chamber, the opening 2S (that is, the peripheral portions 2C and 2C) is sandwiched from both sides by the heat blocks 53 and 54 as heating means provided in the vacuum chamber, so that the opening 2S is sealed by heat sealing or the like to form a seal portion 2R. Thereby, the seal | sticker part 2R can be formed, deaerating the exterior material 2 inside. When forming the seal portion 2R, the opening 2S is sandwiched from both sides by the heat blocks 53 and 54 to apply tension to the exterior material 2 so that the exterior material 2 is brought into close contact with the electrode body 1 and the accommodating portion 2W. It is preferable that the folded portion 2D does not protrude from the peripheral surface. This is because the adhesion of the exterior material 2 to the electrode body 1 can be improved, and the housing portion 2W can be made to have a shape closer to a columnar shape.
 次に、必要に応じて、シール部2Rをカットして、所定幅残した後、図7Cに示すように、シール部2Rが収容部2Wの周面に倣うように、シール部2Rと収容部2Wの周面とを熱融着などにより貼りあわせてシール部2Rを固定するようにしてもよい。このようにシール部2Rを固定することで、電池の周面をより円柱面に近い形状とし、電池全体をより小型化できる。 Next, if necessary, after cutting the seal portion 2R to leave a predetermined width, as shown in FIG. 7C, the seal portion 2R and the storage portion are arranged so that the seal portion 2R follows the peripheral surface of the storage portion 2W. The seal portion 2 </ b> R may be fixed by pasting the 2 W peripheral surface by heat sealing or the like.

This is because the volume efficiency of the entire battery including the circuit member can be further improved. One or both of the printed circuit board 6 and the circuit element 7 are preferably provided substantially parallel or substantially perpendicular to one end face of the accommodating portion 2W. This is because one or both of the printed circuit board 6 and the circuit element 7 are easily located inside the outer periphery of the end face as described above.

However, the form of the printed circuit board is not limited to this.

Except for the above, it has the same configuration as the first to fourth assembled batteries.
[3.2 効果]
 第1、第3の組電池では、収容部2Wの端面に略垂直に立てられたシール部2Pが収容部2Wの端面の中心からずれて設けられた複数の電池10を用いている。このため、隣接する一方の電池10を他方の電池10に対して収容部2Wの中心軸を回転の中心軸として回転させることで、隣接する2つの電池10の間にてシール部2Q、2Pまたはシール部2Q、2Qが干渉しないようにできる。これに対して、参考例1、3の組電池では、隣接する2つの電池10の間にてシール部2Q、2Pまたはシール部2Q、2Qが干渉することは避けられない。したがって、第1、第3の組電池における電池間のスペースは、参考例1、3の組電池における電池間のスペースの半分程度となる。よって、第1、第3の組電池は、参考例1、3の組電池に比べて電池間のスペースを低減できる。
[3.2 Effects]
In the first and third assembled batteries, a plurality of batteries 10 are used in which a seal portion 2P standing substantially perpendicular to the end surface of the housing portion 2W is provided offset from the center of the end surface of the housing portion 2W. For this reason, by rotating the adjacent one battery 10 with respect to the other battery 10 using the central axis of the accommodating portion 2W as the central axis of rotation, the seal portions 2Q, 2P or The seal portions 2Q and 2Q can be prevented from interfering with each other. On the other hand, in the assembled batteries of Reference Examples 1 and 3, it is inevitable that the seal portions 2Q and 2P or the seal portions 2Q and 2Q interfere between the two adjacent batteries 10. Therefore, the space between the batteries in the first and third assembled batteries is about half of the space between the batteries in the assembled batteries of Reference Examples 1 and 3. Therefore, the first and third assembled batteries can reduce the space between the batteries as compared to the assembled batteries of Reference Examples 1 and 3.
 第2、第4の組電池では、隣接する2つの電池10の間において、収容部2Wの端面の中心側に向けてシール部2Q、2Pまたはシール部2Q、2Qが折り曲げられて端面と略平行となっている電池10を用いている。このため、隣接する電池10の間の空間幅を減らすことができる。また、隣接する2つの電池10の間にあるシール部2Q、2Pまたはシール部2Q、2Qは、収容部2Wの端面の中心からずれ、かつ対向するように設けられる。このため、折り曲げられたシール部2Qを収容可能な空間の高さDを広くすることができる。なお、高さDは、“収容部2Wの半径”と“シール部2P、2Qの中心からのずらし量”の和に等しい。これに対して、参考例2、4の組電池では、隣接する電池10の間の空間幅を減らすことはできるが、折り曲げられたシール部2Qを収容可能な空間の高さDを広くすることはできない。 In the second and fourth assembled batteries, between the two adjacent batteries 10, the seal portions 2Q, 2P or the seal portions 2Q, 2Q are bent toward the center side of the end surface of the housing portion 2W, and substantially parallel to the end surface. The battery 10 is used. For this reason, the space width between the adjacent batteries 10 can be reduced. Further, the seal portions 2Q and 2P or the seal portions 2Q and 2Q between the two adjacent batteries 10 are provided so as to be shifted from and opposed to the center of the end surface of the housing portion 2W. For this reason, the height D of the space in which the folded seal portion 2Q can be accommodated can be increased. The height D is equal to the sum of the “radius of the accommodating portion 2W” and the “shift amount from the center of the seal portions 2P and 2Q”. On the other hand, in the assembled batteries of Reference Examples 2 and 4, the space width between the adjacent batteries 10 can be reduced, but the height D of the space in which the folded seal portion 2Q can be accommodated is widened. I can't.
[3.3 変形例]
 第1の実施形態に係る電池を直並列に接続して組電池を構成するようにしてもよい。例えば、第1および/または第2の組電池と第3および/または第4の組電池とを接続して、直並列の組電池を構成するようにしてもよい。
